User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.1+) Gecko/20010625 Build-ID: 2001062506 In a multi-line text area (<textarea> in HTML), I can paste text using the middle mouse button into the scrollbar thumb. Looks quite funny... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Go to any web page that has a textarea on it (like the mozilla.org URL above), type several empty lines into the textarea until the scrollbar appears and there is a grey area above or below the scrollbar thumb (i.e. you actually can scroll). Now select some text with the left mouse button and click with the middle mouse button into the grey area (above or below the thumb). Actual Results: The text is pasted inside(!) the scrollbar thumb. Expected Results: Nothing is pasted, scrollbar jumps to position of click. A sample screen shot follows.

You are using an older version Try 0.9.2 I could not reproduce this, at least on linux However, i saw that typing many "empty" lines would cause the scrollbar not to update itself in size

Wow, what a wild one. I can confirm this with 0.9.2/Linux following the steps reported, following a slight variation of the steps. I select text and middle-click it into the scrollbar above the thumb. At this point, the thumb blinks and disappears. I then click inside the textarea again, hit return a few more times, and the thumb reappears containing a fragment of the text. Marking NEW.

bug 89310 is another textarea issue that showed up today and mentions the scroll thumb disappearing.

Actually it's a feature. We have no clue what anyone would ever use it for, but there it is. Honest! :-) Hmmm. -> Editor (since rods is away right now anyways).

Hmmm... Perhaps I should have filed a "reverse feature request" then ;-) Anyway: Just confirming that the problem is still 100% reproducible for me in yesterday's nightly build (2001070406) on Linux.

this is so strange, adding lots of people to see who should really own this. a couple of notes -- if i paste on the thumbwheel I get one result, if I paste on the directional arrows I get another result, this only affects text controls, not the window control

Too cool.

Note: I just filed bug #89553, which may be related to this bug.

Marked bug 89553 as a duplicate of bug 82513, so look there instead.
